Ipsos poll: only 5% of Americans strongly trust DeFi platforms

  • —Complete or high trust in DeFi stood at 5%, versus 42% for large national banks and 48% for credit unions
  • —73% of respondents reported little or no trust in DeFi platforms
  • —22% have ever owned or used crypto, while past-year participation held at 13%
  • —Financial privacy mattered to 74%, and 40% said they would likely try DeFi
Why it matters: Low trust in DeFi limits retail capital inflows despite demand for control over funds and financial privacy.
